Melissa here. Born and raised in Utah, I was fortunate to be exposed to the outdoors. I grew up fishing, camping, skiing, truly enjoying nature. I pursued careers in the outdoor industry to stay close to my roots; I was and still am playing the game…but I want more. More from my experience on this earth, less time engaging in late-stage capitalism and more time engaging with real humans, growing, connecting, experiencing. So, I am starting here, with Earthstead Collective.
